Research shows that being in, next to, or just looking at the Ocean can spark a positive reaction in your mind and body, offering a sense of calm, reducing stress, and promoting relaxation!

Last month, our very own Geoff joined a regular group of beach cleaning volunteers at Grune Point near Silloth.

"It was a timely insight into the types and origins of litter and pollution found on our beaches as our Blue Influencers project begins to get underway" he said.
